DITCY Part 2 *update 9-19*

Major elements complete...working on composition before laying groundwork...please give feedback on this comp. or I'll haul that cow carcass over and dump it in your front-yard...

Still have some work on the farmhouse to complete...attaching doors, shutters---some detail painting on the structure...

Was hoping to fit the cow into the extreme foreground instead off to the side? Hmmmm...

Manny- did I miss a new thread you started? Just wondering if I'm behind on your surprise element and suspended 1/35 bullets on fish line.

Thanks for the box art and the DVD title- any idea if it's part of a bigger series?

I got the DVD from Bovington tank museum last time i went ,it really is a cracker.Plus there are loads of extra bonus footage thats nearly as long as the original title all on the same time in france and belgium. I just looked on ebay and there were about 8 copies on buy it now,s at £13.99 with free postage. Just type in the full title.

I purchased a video called the Falaize gap recently and it would be right up your street on this dio as there is loads of footage that was new to me and ive got a lot and loads of devastation after the battles. They say the countryside absolutly stank of dead carcases of men ,cattle and horses. Some of the footage is quite grafic seeing dead germans with a face full of maggots wigling around .Some thing you dont see much   the true horrors of war.Saying that though its a cracker of a DVD and iwatch it over and over as my next dio is gonna be around this time and theme. Wow...I'd like to get my hands on that video...

I'm with Manny on this one!

Bodge, what is the title and where did you get it??

By the way, superb dead things, Manny!

Oh and dont think your fingernails have gone unnoticed but they do need clipping Here it is...took some "string-pulling" at Great Models to secure one...this bad-boy is OLD...but perfect for my dio...it is the one with the Panther... LOL, on the fingernails!!! Really nice work on that Jagdkitty and figgies in Armor...All kidding aside, you are one of the few in here, in my humble opinion, who can give me a run for my money on 35th scale figs...although, IMO, you are the second best figure painter in here---LOL---.

Changing up the game plan on the building.  Going with this one instead. Little to no damage. Will look like a "working" farmyard...already have the plaster pieces together; some nice resin shutters, roofing and doors with this one:
